Imagenes, located in Berlin, Germany, has passed the certification process to qualify as a Roche Nimblegen certified service provider (CSP) for DNA methylation analysis.
Imagenes, a solution provider for functional genomics and proteomics with a portfolio of services for molecular life sciences, now offers global DNA methylation analysis using Roche Nimblegen's array workflow.
DNA methylation analysis regulates gene expression on an epigenetic level where erroneous DNA methylation may modify gene activity, which can result in disease.
The genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation profiles allows for the identification of genetic markers and opens up avenues for the development of diagnostic and prognostic testing.
Global DNA methylation analysis offers the possibility of the large-scale characterisation of methylation status on a research sample.
